Strengths:
Compact
When it works, it works well.
Weaknesses:
Dropping it will make it so you have to take the casing off to continue use
Does not like long USB cables (6' work fine)
Additional Comments:
When it works well, it works for a while. I put this thing through the ringer, it read over a thousand floppy diskettes before quitting on me. Not knowing that they were hit and miss I went out to get another one to continue archiving and it lasted 2 disks. Unfortunately I had already tossed the box as I had assumed it would work like the previous.

Strengths:
Allowed installation of WinXP 32-bit onto a RAID 5 array on a computer without a floppy connector.
Weaknesses:
None
Additional Comments:
I almost did not buy this product because of the last review but when I got to the store the salesman convinced me to give it a try.
I was able to use this drive to format a 3.5" floppy and install the RAID drivers I needed to install WinXP on a new computer without a built in floppy drive.
I don't know what the other guys problem was. This drive did everything I wanted and it was way cheaper than the others.
I have no complaints.

Strengths:
Recognized by system but will not read the floppies.
Weaknesses:
Wants to format all disks. Will not read the data on the floppy.
Additional Comments:
Would not recommend this drive because of its failure to read the floppy and wanting to format. When trying to format a floppy...still fails. This drive fails to get my recommendation. Will be returning it for a refund.
